Are you ready to take the lead on one of the most exciting PR opportunities in the charity sector? We’re looking for a Head of Public Relations who can bring energy, creativity and sharp judgement to a role that puts you right at the centre of the national conversation. This is more than a press office job, it’s about telling powerful stories, protecting a respected reputation, and leading a talented team to deliver campaigns that really matter.

Come and be part of the largest Armed Forces charity, making a difference to the lives of those who have served to keep us safe and protect our way of life.

This is a particularly exciting time to join us, as we deliver a new organisational strategy and strengthen the way we communicate with the public.

In return, you’ll find a role that is as rewarding as it is demanding. You’ll be joining a supportive environment where your expertise is valued and your ideas have real impact. You’ll get the satisfaction of seeing your work play out on a national stage, knowing that you’re helping to shine a light on important causes and making a genuine difference. If you’re ready for a challenge that will stretch, inspire and reward you in equal measure, we’d love to hear from you.
